If one were to do this, the best way would be to hook the tag functions
for lua "objects" and make all the Obj-C classes appear as Lua classes.
However, how would you handle mangling the argument/method naming
conventions? It would be decently messy. You would end up with:
an_objc_obj:doSomething_with_tIndex_(foo,bar,3);
On the other hand it wouldn't take much code and would work decently well.
